Abstract:		 In February 2015 Archaeology South-East carried out a historic buildings watching brief at Pevensey Castle, Pevensey, East Sussex. The work was commissioned by English Heritage, to be addressed as a condition placed on Scheduled Monument Consent (S00094993) relating to the undertaking of extensive conservation work to the fabric of the Outer Curtain Wall, between bastions 4 and 6. Pevensey Castle is located on the East Sussex coast, first constructed c. 280-300 AD as Anderida, part of the network of Saxon Shore forts which extended from what is now Hampshire to Norfolk. Much of the original fort survives to its original height as the curtain wall of the later castle, whose inner bailey lies within the Roman enclosure's south-east corner. During the Anglo-Saxon and medieval periods the focus of settlement at Pevensey would probably have lain within the circuit of the Roman walls, not around the present extramural High Street. The wall has a core of flint and sandstone rubble set in white mortar. Unlike the outer face, the inner face of the wall does not retain its original Roman ironstone and sandstone facing, but is patched with flint across much of its top third. Below, much of the Roman core is exposed to present ground level. The watching brief encompassed all those areas to be opened up and dismantled in as part of the repair work, including the taking of mortar samples. No breaks in construction or indications of phasing were encountered during the watching brief, beyond the original Roman work and the 20th century repairs.
